Was it a VP of a tech department? If not, it's a very valid question. Either way, it sounds like a good approach to ask the question to someone else who's closer to practical implementation.

He was our CIO. This was ~2011. Effectively, he was getting steak dinners from vendors, and using that to make decisions. These questions were either from ignorance or worse, malice, to force us to vendors.

This (public) medical company went out of business roughly a year after.

Especially considering some programs only get a minor version increment about once a year(FreeCad 0.18) while projects like Firefox or OpenSuse skipped tens of major version numbers within a short period.
